Our latest batch of slot machine tells come from Aristocrat games, and have something in common, in the fact that they basically work the same way. In this, if you pay close enough attention, you can get a glimpse of what will happen before it ultimately happens.
Wild Wild Nugget & Wild Wild Samurai
The first two games in the Wild Wild series share a tell games that came out after it in the series don’t have (perhaps because Aristocrat caught on to it as well). It comes with the suspense spin when you either land two free games symbols or the Wild Wild symbols on the first two reels.
In both cases, the games will begin doing an anticipation spin and sound. At the point the sound begins, if the third bonus symbol (in the case of the free games) or the cash on reels symbol (in the case of the Wild Wild) is on the reels, they will come back around and land at the conclusion of the anticipation spin element.
In the case of Wild Wild, this works for each successive reel – if when the first one lands and the suspense spin begins for the next reel, the cash on reels is visible there, those, too, will land and be awarded.
Here’s a video of Brian playing the game – can you spot when the symbols will land? This one features just Wild Wild and not the bonus symbols, but can help you get used to how it works.
Buffalo Grand
Once you’ve figured that one out, this one’s a breeze, because it’s exactly the same! The suspense spin gives away whether the bonus symbols will land or not.
When two bonus symbols land, when the suspense spin sound begins, if the bonus symbol is visible on that reel, it will come back around and land, triggering the bonus. And if you already have three, the suspense spins will continue and the same tell works to potentially get more symbols, meaning a better range of spins on the wheels.
Here’s a video of Brian playing Buffalo Grand so you can watch and see how the tell works – can you spot when a bonus will land?
Takeaway
This one’s fun because it’s about getting to know how the suspense spins work on these games and getting good at determining whether a symbol will land or not!
